Rooftops of Paris

My favourite image of Paris is any sweeping rooftop image. That infamous panoramic view of haussmann rooftop after haussmann rooftop after haussmann rooftop. It's like a beautiful architectural montage. And when it's bathed in the dusk or dawn sun-light - that is the perfect moment. If only there was a pause button for life...I'd hold it riiiiight THERE!!

Visitors to Paris will scale any height to view the ultimate view of Paris. Sacre Coeur, the Eiffel tower, Tour Montparnasse. But any Paris insider will tell you that many of Paris's most breathtaking views are afforded by private residences, discreetly tucked away in various parts of the city.

At Petite Paris we have many residences with spectacular views that you can revel in anytime of the day from dusk to dawn, without having to wait in long queues. 

1. B&B188 - Genevieve's place

 

Located on the 17th floor of a building located in front of the channel St Martin, your hosts residence is one of the rare parisian homes that every one wants to own because of its remarkable view across Paris.

6. B&B104 - Florence's place

The romantic room that Florence offers is in an incredible location. Just behind its vapourous curtains is the most popular french monument: the Eiffel Tower as this B&B sits right on the edge of the Parc du Champs de Mars. Florence is a radio journalist and lives with her son. Passionate about architecture and painting, she will give you good advice for your sightseeing and your evening activities. Located on the first floor with lift in a high typical Haussmann residence built in 1890, Florence's apartment is a little gem as it windows open onto the Eiffel Tower and its gardens.

7. B&B135 - Anne's place.

This B&B is centrally located on the left bank in the 15th arrondissement, in a very lively district where small shopkeepers, bakeries, grocers, restaurants and bars live on in authentic Parisian style. Enjoy breakfast overlooking the tree lined park directly across. Situated on the sixth floor (with lift) of a brick building constructed in 1934, Anne's small residence (53m2) is very bright. It faces a calm, tree-lined park. If you look up you will enjoy a view of the Eiffel tower. The residence has an extremely comfortable ‘family feel’.
